Paula Deen Gets Blasted For Website Ad Featuring Black Woman Depicted As (Video)

Paula Deen is back in the controversial spotlight, and it’s because of an image featured on her website for the Lady & Sons, a restaurant in Savannah, Ga.

According to eater.com, the ad is meant to promote the restaurant’s new hours of operation. However, a group on Facebook sees the ad’s racist undertones as an extension of Deen’s previous racial drama.

“Paula Deen longs for the antebellum south when blacks, especially black women were non-threatening servants,” reads a post on the Facebook page ForBlackWomenOnly (see below).

According to a Deen spokesperson, the image depicted in the ad is not new, but has been used on the restaurant’s website for “five years.” The restaurant further explains, “the lady featured in the picture has worked at the restaurant for over 17 years and is like family to the Deens.”

    1. Get off Paula Deen, you media racism mongers! You act like white people can’t have black friends. Quit trying to stir up a controversy out of nothing. That ad looks like Paula Deen is trying to honor her employee as a symbol of the best in Southern cooking. Get it right or get off of it!
